    Hi to all,

    Can any one help with my problem please?
    ok, I have a plant that belonged to my mum(god bless her)and when I brought it to my house the first year did ok , but last year or this year should I say its gone down hill, I no my mum used to feed it but don�t now how often so I have bought some feed for it and feed it according to the instructions, now what has happened to it this year when it was in bud it started of budding nicely then it went down hill the flowers all started to go yellowy and shrivel then the buds that had not opened did the same, its in a bigish tub that for me to no has not had any soil change, the only different thing that I have done is made a planter for it that it about 6 inches taller than the tube, any help is much appreciated as I would not like to lose the only thing living that my mum had.

    The plant/shrub is a camellia

    An old gentleman next door said put some Epsom salts in it, he did not say how much and when so I don�t really no

    Hi billrobbo,that happened to my camellia this year, ithink it was just old age, and had lived its life. take all the dead bits off, and leave outside in a sheltered spot. hopefully next spring it will flower, maybe your lovely mum will look after it for you and in spring you will see lovely flowers, good luck and welcome billrobo..
